About me
I’m an experienced Integrative Psychotherapist, working with adults and young people from my practice near Farnham, Surrey, and online.
You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong before you come to therapy.
You might know precisely what you want to talk about. You might be struggling with anxiety, relationships, grief, trauma, addiction or self-doubt. Or perhaps nothing fits neatly into a category — you simply know that something isn’t working anymore.
That’s enough.
I don’t believe therapy is about sitting opposite someone who has you all figured out. My job isn’t to tell you who you are or what you should do. It’s to pay very close attention while we work it out together.
My approach is primarily relational. Sometimes that means looking at the past and understanding how it continues to shape the present. Sometimes it’s about what happened on Tuesday. Often it involves noticing patterns, beliefs and ways of coping that once made perfect sense but may no longer be serving you.
There will be empathy and curiosity. There may also be challenge. And, where appropriate, humour. Therapy can be serious without being solemn.
Above all, I want therapy to be somewhere you don’t have to perform. Somewhere you can say the thing you haven’t said, contradict yourself, change your mind, be angry, frightened, funny, ashamed or completely unsure.
I won’t pretend to have all the answers. I will be there while we look for yours.
I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), an Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and a BACP Children, Young People & Families member.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
